Speaker: Becks Skinner (Hardheads Heritage)

Inspired by a Wedding Dress from 1911, within The Beacon Museum Collection, this talk explores the research behind the project, as we look for traces of the bride, Mrs Davidson, through the records left during her lifetime in Whitehaven, Egremont and St Bees. It delves into the fashions of the era and what life was like during this period.

This talk has been developed thanks to funding from Arts Council England.

• 1pm in the museum’s Crosthwaite Room
• 45-60 minutes, including time for questions and discussion.
